Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

The game is unbelievable. Only been the first day but this might surpass 2K11 and already be the GOAT basketball video game of all time and I haven't even touched My Team or My Career yet!!!!!!!

With that said, since everyone already posted their impressions on the game, I'm going to keep mine short and sweet:


The player models look mindboggling. Myself and "LeBronIsTheKing" caught criticism from other posters for wanting the player models of '06 Wade/'13 Wade and '07 LeBron/'13 LeBron to look completely different from each other and 2K made that happen. I'm right now shaking just being able to practice with the '06 Heat again.


Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *Ric Flair voice*

Loving the game so far even though im 0-2 vs the cpu. Foot planting is great. Played a game against the Rockets and Harden just went to work on me. So far im kinda struggling with jumpshots. Seems less forgiving this year and I like that. Forces you to learn and get better.

Some quick hitters:

• Movement feels MUCH better. Walking the ball up the court feels right and the walking pace was increased just a tad. Also the zone on the stick for walking/sprinting was widened a bit so it doesn't feel out of control (move the stick a fraction of a millimeter and all of the sudden you are sprinting up court) like last year. Also on defense, you can move around more freely without that magnetic force/stuck in quicksand feel.

• They added the ability to hide the cursor in replay mode. THANK THE LAWD.

• Ball physics on the rim got a nice upgrade. Looks more natural.

• Blocks are much improved. I spent hours upon hours last year tweaking sliders to try to get a realistic number of blocks from the CPU. Something tells me that will no longer be a problem this year.

• It is not easy to get around defenders using the dribble. Could be me needing some more time in tutorials/practice, but turboing around guys at will is no longer possible.

• Relocation/rebrand feature: HOLY. ****. This is absolutely insane. The number of customization options is mind-blowing. Almost PC-level customization and editing ability, right from my PS4. This is awesome. Every other sports game needs this. Imagine being able to customize stadium advertisements in MLB the Show in this matter. Ahhh!

• The 12-minute quarter highlight issue for PS4 lives on. This makes me a sad panda.

• Overall, this is the most polished sports game I have ever played. From gameplay to presentation to features, it it just oozes confidence and quality.

Fastbreaks are a thing of beauty now because of the speed differential between players..so far no center is catching up to a guard on a break from what i've seen so far

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I tried to play it like 2K15 without read it controls (Big mistake). That didn't work. Controls are different. Played 2 play now games. First one was against the Cavs. My Bulls couldn't hit a thing from outside. LBJ was the fastest strongest person out there. Lost by eight. Played against Spurs. Thunder had started hot and then Spurs got hot. One thing I learned is, dont bring weak stuff to hole. Spurs were blocking everything. KD had to put it to over time and pulled out the win.

This game feels much tighter that 2K15 Takes some time to get use to shooting again. Playing (EA Game) got me using the shoot button by accident. I'll spend a day or so reprogramming my brain.

Love this game.

I did the same thing and yeah, big mistake. I've been watching 2KU videos and just playing random games and am starting to get a better handle on the control changes.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

What do you mean by that?.... This has been in the game for a long time now. Am I missing something?

I don't think it worked properly the last couple of years, at least in my experience.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I have the same issue. Put the game in around 12:30 last night by 1:30 it was still only at 20%. Went to bed, left console on but had it set for sleep mode after 2 hours. When I woke up and the game was still only at 34%. I'm currently at work so I'm not sure what kind of progress has been made but my console is still on and I set my playstation to not go into sleep mode. Hopefully when I get back home I'm roughly 6 hours I'll be good to go.

Not sure if I've had any other game that has taken this long to install/"copy".

uninstall the game...sign out xbox live acc and disconnect from the internet....reinstall the game while all these are off it should download in a matter of mins. I had to do this with my physical disc on xboxone and it worked like a charm

You can only rebrand and/or relocate THREE teams in MyLeague. Three!

I think Leftos said anymore than 3 would complicate things.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

Some observations from the one game CPU vs CPU I watched this morning between my Hornets and the Magic:

Game looks and "feels" fantastic. Being that I just watched the game instead of playing it I may have a bit different point of view than people who were focusing on playing the game, but movement-wise its the best Ive seen in a sports game.

like others have said, on ball D is MUCH improved as MKG and Batum were straight suffocating people on the perimeter. The cool thing is if they were able to get past them they scored relatively easily against our suspect rim protection. The differences in each player are very noticable, from speed/quickness to strength. Even the way they move, as MKG looked almost out of control all the time just like IRL. Another nice thing was that the game was a blowout from the 1st quarter as the Hornets ran away with it, and apart from them starting to play a bit flat in the 4th quarter the Magic never came close...no rubber banding. From presentation to player movement to ball physics this is the best sports sim ever made, and I havent even cracked my favorite game mode in MyLeague.

The only negative I saw was there were a fair amount of instances where the offensive player would just hold the ball and try and iso when he should have done something else. It happened a lot at the beginning of the game but seemed to clean up as it went on.

The only other minor complaint I have is that I cant seem to find a place to adjust rotations for the play now rosters...Marvin Williams is starting for the Hornets and that is....not good...

overall, watching a game is a worthwhile experience and I cant wait to get into MyLeague

Huh, thought this been in the game for years?

Yeah it's been in the game for years. It was missing in 2K14 old gen but that's about it.

• Hairstyles are the same a few updates. The shine for ethnic crop hairstyles still exist no change. If you want to avoid the shine on your hair when on the court try using a dark blonde color works pretty well on close fades.


• Running animation's are improved looks a bit more natural motion.

•*You can now wear a head band (Not sure about my career) shoes actually have a nice slope to them.

• Not sure if sock height is adjustable in My Career.
